Mesothelioma, or cancer of the mesothelium, is a rare but aggressive form of cancer that is almost always caused by asbestos exposure. It is diagnosed in approximately 2,000 to 3,000 people in the United States each year.

Asbestos Exposure & Your Legal Rights

With any injury caused by someone else, you have a right to compensation for your losses. This includes damages for illness caused by asbestos exposure, so you can reclaim lost wages, medical expenses, and other costs incurred from exposure to asbestos.
